April/May 2009 - Junior League of Minneapolis

Sustainers
JLM Annual Author Event
Wednesday, May 13, 2009
Robert Alexander was born in Chicago, Illinois, on July 23, 1952. For
nearly thirty years Robert Alexander has been traveling to Russia where
he has attended Leningrad State University and worked for the United States
Government. He is the author of the bestselling novels Rasputin’s Daughter, The
Kitchen Boy, and, now in paperback, The Romanov Bride. The author has used
many letters and other historical documents, with Ella’s own words, to give us a
feel for the real woman, the Grand Duchess Elisaveta. She came from a modest
background in Germany and moved to the opulent and excessive Russian Court.
This moving and realistic work will make a great book club selection.
Cost: Author presentation with lunch - $23, or without lunch - $8
Robert Alexander will be at lunch and available to discuss his works.
Hostesses: Marilyn Hoghaug and Dorothy Hautman.
The event is open to friends.
